Loving animal caregiver

Pet care experience

I am a loving pet owner and a caring pet sitter. I try to achieve satisfactory with pet owners. I have owned animals almost all my life and have been on Rover for a few years now. I will watch any animals of any size and condition. I have watched dogs, cats, and even aquatic animals for people. I own reptiles and rodents as well. I have cared for animals who were young and older. I have administered medicine through food and oral for the pets. I am very comfortable with walking for as long as the pet owners wish.

Kaitlyn did a great job with Xena. She received good care and attention!

This is the second time I have booked Kaitlyn to walk my pup and she has been amazing! She responds to my messages quickly and has brought packages inside for me. She also, sends me photos, which I love. I would highly recommend her. She has been a lifesaver, it’s nice to know that my dog is being well taken care of while I’m at work.

Unfortunately, I won’t book Kaitlyn again. We were not happy with what we came home to after our trip. She couldn’t be bothered to tidy the litter boxes for my two kitties. There was poop/pee all over the nearby floors, to the point my cats peed outside the litter box (which is unusual). I left litter pads to change out, so I’m unsure why there was extra left sitting on the counter. Cats deserve a clean space to do their “chores”. I don’t ask for much and there’s not much to do to take care for cats obviously. Maybe my instructions weren't clear enough - I just assumed it was common sense and mostly a courtesy when in someone's home to straighten up some. She also did not stay for the allotted time according to the check ins on the app. Just a quick in and out, so I’m not sure the kitties even got any love or attention. These are things a pet owner likes to know when away almost a week – I didn’t get any updates like that whatsoever. I also had no idea when Kaitlyn would plan to do her check-ins as sometimes it would be close to 7 hours after my requested time. It would be pointless to even pay for the check-in service, as we were almost home. The purpose of my review is to just leave an honest review – not a bad one, in hopes it helps someone else.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment complex with a dog park. My dogs are normally off leash but I will never do off leash with a clients pet unless specifically requested. I am willing to walk your animal where you want them walked and if specific areas are their favorite.

Information Kaitlyn J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs your animal has regarding their behavior or diet. Please let me know if your animal has had issues in the past with previous sitters so we can make sure there has been enough interaction between myself and the animal prior to you leaving me alone with your animal. If animal acts aggressive during visit due to the owner not properly informing me prior to the walks/drop-ins I will be left to have to cancel the whole stay. Everyone’s safety not only me but also the animal is top priority at all times. Please respect this as I have been cornered in a home a couple years back and had to call Rover care due to the owners neglect of informing me till after the dog had me cornered.

A typical day

I will walk, feed, provide fresh water, and play with your animal. Many times cat owners don't request me to play with their cats but if this is a service you wish please communicate with me so I can make sure they get the love they want and deserve. I will take dogs to their dog park if provided and allow them to interact with neighboring dogs that the owner informs me they know. I have had where neighbors will say the animals name and prove they know the dog and will allow brief interaction.
